Andersonville prison was a disease ridden lace where confederates kept captured union soldiers during the Civil War. The prison was overly stuffed with union soldiers and had many diseases. The prison was originally sup post to hold about 10,000 soldiers but eventually was raised to around 20,000 and still didn't have enough room. A bog percentage of the soldiers kept there died, and there wasn't a lot of food. Sometimes the guards that protected the prison wouldn't have enough food either. A lot of times the soldiers guarding the prison would kill may prisoners that tried to climb over the wooden barriers to escape.
